Dear Sirs: About three months ago,
noticing letter addressed to you in
the Bee from Gen. Slevin, in refer
ence to the cure of his son by the
use of Halls Catarrh Cure, we were
induced to commence the use of it
for our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has ben suffering from
catarrh for about eight years, during
which time she has been treated by
one Of the best physicians in the city.
We have also tried the use Of almost
all the known remedies for catarrh,
with no more success thar Temporal
ry relief. Many nights have we laid
awake to hold her mouth open to
keep her from strangling. Her hear
ing had also become affected. We
were afraid that she would never re.
cover. We have now used six bottles
of Hall Catarrh Cnr", and we believe
Nellie to be entirely cured. In few
days after commencing the use of it
we noticed decided change for the
better, and from that right along she
has improved, until now she breathes
AS easily as any one. She sleeps
well and her hearing is perfectly
good. We feel that the disease is
entirely removed We write this
unsolicited letter, feeling that it is
due you, and with the hope that 9TH
ers may be benefited in like manner.
We can hardly realize that such a
change could be effected in SO short
time after battling with the dis
ease so long. We are still using the
remedy at intervals, as it seems to
build up her system. You are st
liberty to use this in any manner
you See proper. We are yours,

yTv OOTiyG AFFRAY AT MIyER.
Al PARK.
Deputy sheriff Monroe Danger
0msIy Wounded.

About 8 o'clock this morning the peo-
pie OF this town were shocked at the news
Of shooting affray at Mineral Park. The
first account Of the affair Was brought by
Thomas Mcmahon, who came over ON
horseback after DIR. Burdick.
The shooting was done by DIR. g. w.
Scott, the lessee Of the Palace Hotel, and
rs nearly as we can learn from the state
ments Of Mr.. McMahon, and others who
have come over since, under the following
circumstances:
Some three or four weeks since Geo.
Monroe, who was deputy sheriff and
bad charge Of the Jail, and boarded at
the hotel, had some trouble with Scott,
which led 10 high words and resulted in
Monroe's leaving the house and boarding
elsewhere. I'm consequence there has
been bad blood between the two men,
which eliminated in the shooting this
morning. At about bali past six the men
met and had more words, and IL is stated
BY some, came TO blows, but this 10 dis
puted by others. After separating, Mon
roe walked across the street to the saloon
Of Harvey IIubbs opposite. and was stand
ing at the further end Of the bar and par
tally behind il facing away from it, talk.
ing to the parties in the saloon when he
was shot. In the meantime Scott pro-
cared Winchester rife and coming Ia
.he front door Of the hotel, stood behind
4, and took deliberate aim at Monroe
across the street, the latter being plainly
visible through the open door Some one
called TO Monroe TO look out for Scott and
ne turned jus! in time to see the ril.
l,ointed at him. Without moving he drew
Iais six-sboo.er and fired one shot in the
direction Of Scott, but as the ball struck
several feet from where Scott was stand
| ing it is supposed that scotfs sbo. struel
aim first, and caused him 10 aim wild
The shot from Scoit's rife struck him ia
the lower part Of the abdomen about
shree inches from tbe left hip bone ans
ranged slightly downwards, and must al
most necessarily prove fatal. Under
Sheriff kucncer was quickly ON hand AM
